Best of 2022: TV

For TV viewers, there is both the agony and the ecstasy of living through the Second Golden Age of Television, and 2022 was no exception. Streaming services, premium cable, and even – gasp! – the networks kept churning out spectacular new series and incredible seasons of continuing shows. And we just keep loosening those proverbial belts and shoveling them in. With so many incredible hours of television released this year, it’s impossible to have seen it all. So our panelists are here to share their favorites, such as β€œThe Bear,” β€œHouse of the Dragon,” β€œSeverance,” β€œHeartstopper,” β€œSprung,” β€œThe Dropout,” β€œThe Sandman,” β€œBad Sisters,” β€œThe After Party,” β€œA Friend of the Family,” and more!

Host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Amma Marfo and Kate Racculia, and special guests Delia Paunescu ("A Waste of Time" on Substack) and Dustin Holden ("The Rewatch Recap" podcast) discuss their individual Top 3 picks for the best TV shows of 2022. No debate, just a pop culture show-and-tell. Did your favorite TV series make the list?
